Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yeah, it was really for people who were finding it hard to make time for reading. And now the group is dominated by three (seemingly) retired people. And my poor friend who started the group is still stuck on his book about procrastination!

I actually don't read that much, but I thought that with this group it made sense for me to set my "every other one should be a classic" goal (which I am failing miserably at since I started with Don Quixote and keep getting distracted). I hope that at least they'll stop posting at 24.

It's also not about peace. Does no one listen to the words? I can't think of a Leonard Cohen song that would be appropriate for the Olympics.

Anthem's not totally inappropriate.

Unlike, say, Don't Go Home With Your Hard On.

Which is probably not appropriate for anything you could show on network TV.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ was appalled when I explained the skeleton to her, and promptly forbade Matilda and Emmett from doing luge or skeleton.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

He married into a great Canadian family. His father in law was the father of universal health care.

Which makes Kiefer the Nephew of universal health care!

If only we could get Jack Bauer on the case, we'd have it by President's Day.

kd looked like she'd borrowed David Byrne's giant suit!

I kept thinking she was Kyle McLaughlin.

Canadians, sorry about your cauldron, eh.

Yuu guys are missing Wayne Gretzky being driven in the back of a pick-up to the site of the outdoor flame being followed by crowds of drunken, screaming people.

Awwwww, that kinda makes the whole thing ok.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Whoa, the whale on the floor effect was impressive.

Society of Spectacle, meet Vancouver.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. I couldn't help but make the Buffy connections when they went from Donald Sutherland to Sarah McLachlan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Still on West Coast delay.)

The punk rock fiddling tap dancing thing is just so very very Emma Bull. Oh those Bordertown stories - I never thought your aesthetic would turn up as an Olympic opening ceremony.
